The Shop
We are just 20 miles southwest of Indianapolis in the wonderful community of Nashville, Indiana. If you dId find the new book you were looking for, please visit our website at Bookshop.org (https://bookshop.org/shop/Fallenleafbooks), where we have virtually every title in print. We have just added a nice collection of books, pamphlets and ephemera on Indiana and Brown County, Indiana.
Your online source for books, new and used, rare and collectible. We buy and sell. We are always looking for books on local history. We also buy good quality books on all different subjects. Generally speaking, school textbooks, Book of the Month Club books, and books with highlighting and intext notations will not be purchased. We sell most paperback books at a very low price so we can not pay much for them. We are always happy to make you an offer, but please give us a call, our buyer needs a few hours off during the week. If you are in the Indiana area and have books to sell please call us to make an appointment to sell your books.
We are constantly acquiring new books for our inventory and are always looking for good quality books, check back often to see what new items have come in. Or you can subscribe to our New Arrivals and be notified via email.
If you have items that you would like for us to evaluate for purchase please get in touch with us.
Self Published Books
Frequently we are asked if we will carry a self published book, and the answered is a qualified, "Yes". Initially, you must be a resident, or former resident, of the Nashville, Indiana area, or your book must have something to do with the area. Once that hurdle has been taken care of we are prepared to consider stocking your book.
Let us say that producing a book is a task that many of us think of but few actually do and it should be considered a major accomplishment.
1. We will display your book, on our selling floor, in either our"Loccal Author" section or within the genre specific section, if we deem that it qualifies.
2. We ask that you offer your book at a reasonable price that is within the standards of the market and that our price will be the same that you will offer your book at any other location where your book will be sold.
3. We will pay you an industry standard of 60% of the selling price.
4. Initially, we will take a maximum of three (3) copies for sell and if these sell we will contact you for additional copies.
5. We will display you book for 6 months and, if they have not sold out we will return them to you with payment for any copiees that have sold.
6.. We will contact you if we need additional copies and we will issue you a check, only after the initial 3 copies have sold, or at the time of their return (6 months).
We do require that you provide your contact information and sign this agreement before leaving your books for consideration. Once again, you have our congratulations on this wonderful accomplishment and we hope this endeavor is successful.
